The type of delivery influences breastfeeding, both in terms of initiation and duration. The aim of the study was to determine the association between the type of delivery and factors associated with exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) practice among Polish women. Data on sociodemographic variables, pre-pregnancy weight, height, course of pregnancy, type of delivery and duration of breastfeeding were collected using a Computer-Assisted Web Interview. Of the 1024 breastfeeding women who participated in the study, 59.9% gave birth vaginally and 40.1% gave birth by caesarean section. The chance of starting EBF [OR: 0.478; 95% Cl: 0.274, 0.832] and continuing it for four months [OR: 0.836; 95% Cl: 0.569, 0.949] was lower in the case of caesarean delivery. Starting EBF was negatively affected by pre-pregnancy overweight status and obesity in the case of caesarean delivery. EBF practice for four months was negatively affected by age [18–24 years and 25–34 years], elementary education and average income [2001–4000 PLN] in the case of caesarean delivery. A negative impact on the chance of EBF for six months was also observed for younger age [18–24 years], elementary and secondary education and average income [2001–4000 PLN] in the case of caesarean delivery. There was no association between starting EBF and age, net income, place of living, pregnancy complications or the child′s birth weight category in the case of both subgroups, as well as between education and previous pregnancies in the case of vaginal delivery. These results suggest that women who deliver by caesarean section need additional breastfeeding support.

“…Previous studies have reported that caesarean section is negatively associated with breastfeeding practice [9,10]. A prospective cohort study found that caesarean delivery has a negative impact on EBF during the first and third months after delivery but not during the sixth month [11].…”

“…In the literature, it was reported that the delivery mode is effective on the breastfeeding [6,7]. The cesarean sections were associated with the experience of vaginal deliveries as lower rates of breastfeeding starting and shorter breastfeeding duration [8][9][10].…”

This research was conducted for investigating the impact of delivery mode and maternal postpartum functional state on breastfeeding self-sufficiency.Material and methods: Data of this research featuring crosssectional design were collected between November 2018 and February 2019. Size of the sampling performed with Power analysis was calculated as 444 puerperants with a confidence interval at 97% and population representation at 80%. Data were collected by Personal Information Form, Barkin Index of Maternal Functioning (BIMF) and Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale-Short Form (BSES-SF). ANOVA, t test in independent groups and Pearson Correlation analysis as well as descriptive analyses were used in the analysis of data.Results: The age average of puerperants is 26.97±5.79, it was found out that 34.9% of puerperants are secondary school graduates, 80.6% do not work, 71.6% have a moderate economic state and 77.0% have an elementary family type. The delivery mode of 59.2% of the puerperants is cesarean and no statistically significant relation is found between the delivery mode and breastfeeding self-sufficiency (p>0.05). Total score average of puerperants taken from BIMF is 72.82±10.59. Total score averages taken from the sub-dimensions of BIMF are 10.65±3.08 in the sub-dimension of "self-care"; 9.25±1.73 in the sub-dimension of "mother's psychology"; 19.86±3.00 in the sub-dimension of "baby-care"; 13.36±2.93 in the sub-dimension of "social support" and 19.69±3.57 in the subdimension of "adaptation to motherhood". Total score averages which mothers took in BSES-SF are 56.17±8.54. It was determined that there is a statistically significant weak relation between BIMF and each of its subdimensions and BSES-SF in positive way and as the maternity function of puerperants increases, the breastfeeding self-sufficiency also increases at significant level (p<0.001). Conclusion:While there is no significant relation between the delivery mode and breastfeeding self-sufficiency of puerperants, it is found out that the maternity function of puerperants increases, the breastfeeding self-sufficiency also increases.
